The affected projects, many of which were launched in 2018-19, had a projected completion date of the first half of 2024. However, developers failed to update the project completion status with GujRERA within the specified deadline, nor did they seek an extension for the same. This failure to comply with the Quarter-End (QE) requirements has led to the cancellation of project registrations.
The move is expected to have a significant impact on developers in major cities like Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Surat, and Rajkot. Interestingly, some of the affected projects are already completed, and buyers have been granted possession, but the Building Use (BU) permission is still pending, preventing developers from completing the QE compliance.
The GujRERA official emphasized that the authority is committed to ensuring that developers adhere to project-completion compliance norms. The freezing of project-linked bank accounts sends a strong message to real estate developers in Gujarat that failure to comply with regulatory norms will not be tolerated.
As the developers navigate the consequences of this crackdown, it remains to be seen how they will adapt and ensure compliance with the QE requirements going forward, ultimately benefiting both the industry and the homebuyers.
